Scientists probe anti-ageing gene.
Strange, while we seem to have found something for mice, it does make them irritable and they act as if they are cold.
But some other studies I've seen seem to indicate that multiple genes are involved in ageing for humans, and thus the holy grail of anti-ageing may be even further off than we had hoped.

Yeah, I don't think 'ageing' can be explained by a single gene; its possibly a much more complex phenomenon. We ran a press release about that 3-4 days ago : No single gene for ageing
What we're you working on? You should be able to find something else! (even if bioinformatics have been hyped a bit at the beginning of this century...)
Sorry that your grant ran out
Well, have applications to a number of UW jobs, we'll see what happens. Was working on www.sgpp.org, Structural Genomics of Parasitic Protozoa, you know - malaria, sleeping sickness, things like that.
